The Second Crossing to Douglas Island
The single most important issue for the Juneau Area is the second crossing to Douglas Island, the North End. I met an old man who said, “You know, I was real young when this issue first came up.”
Who knows what could happen if a second bridge was built on the North End of Douglas Island?
What if: There was a aferry terminal at the North End?
What if: There was a port on the South End for Tour Ships?
What if: There was a road on the outside edge of the South End that connected to Douglas Highway on the inside edge? Shaped like a horseshoe? The outside edge would go half-way up.
What if: There were electric-powered tour buses? Money for this would come from the cruise ship tax.
What if…what if…
